Those Police station steps can be really slippery...


Thing is, where do people like this sell stuff like that? Not exactly lead off a church roof, or a load of copper cable, is it?

I think 11 years is a pretty long sentence.
If they had been burgling average homes they wouldnt have got anywhere near that, the sentence seems to reflect the type of victim more than the crime. i.e. Stately Home, Judges` pal throw away the key. A lot of people dont get 11 years for murder/manslaughter, which seems to fit in with what I have always said, the courts value property much higher than they do a human life.
Have the pikeys been watching the film "The General". Stately Homes, art heists, underground bunkers etc, now where did they get that idea from.

I've just been reading that story before seeing the post here.

What also makes interesting reading is the more in-depth story.

I was thinking about posting it but couldn't come up with a suitable thread title that was safe for work.

Scumbags, the lot of them. Apparently they were part of the BBC documentary last year in which they bragged about robbing people.

Might just be closer to the truth to reverse that thought...

They look stupid, they act stupid and they talk stupid. But theres nothing on this earth sharper than a pikey. Well good to see they are locked up. Thankfully their evil deeds didnt involve murdering or hurting their victims. This story is overshadowed by those scummers who threw a woman (reportedly pregant) onto a train line. Now thats serious crime!

The General was robbing the wealthy 20 or 30 years ago in Ireland, but its an excellent film. He met what some might say was a timely end in 1994, being the last person to be murdered before the ceasefire.

The site they live on is only a few miles from my home. I know it well, its a well known no go area for the police and I had the misfortune of having to deliver gas bottles to them in the past, a most unpleasant experience. I always did wonder why the pikey's round here drove brand new mercs.

Serial burglar gangs tend to get substansial sentances eg a few years ago another set of johnsons in birmingham went down for sentances between 4 and 11 years again.

Must be something in the government sentancing guidlines for organised gangs.

And people wonder why 'Travellers' get such a bad reputation. Well, an entire family of stealing pikeys answers that quite nicely.

'But not all of them are burglars' they say. Well sod that, lock 'em up and throw away the key...

hehe

That will sort them out - what, being tied to a single location for 11 years! Must drive them insane!

No doubt, I'd have liked to see that crack addict who robbed over 300 houses get a similar sentence, but he got let off extremely lightly by comparison.

The Johnson girls used to try shoplifting in the shop where I used to work as a yoof. There'd always be a crowd of them about 6 at least. We couldn't do anything until they'd actually left the threshold of the shop with anything. They all had ratty facial features and big boobs + enough gold to make Mr T feel a lightweight.
